    The Harry Potter films' producer said they're indeed in talks with JW for coming back to score the final film(s)!

    Let's hope so. I didn't care that much for the Patrick Doyle or Nicolas Hooper scores - they were lacking the memorable themes that you know Williams will bring to a movie.

    Can't agree with that statement. There some wonderful themes in both scores... especially Doyle. "Harry in Winter" for example - while not the great themes of his career - is solid. And while Hooper's two scores are the weakest in the series there are a few memorable themes in Order of the Phoenix that worked extremely well. "Professor Umbridge" is really good theme actually.

    Agree on "Professor Umbridge", that was quite good. But still, it's not Williams. smile

    Of course it's not. There aren't many that come even close. Hooper was a major disappointment and huge step down for the franchise musically.

    Why did Williams only do the first three then? I don't think I've ever known the reason behind it.

    Chris Columbus wanted him on the first 2, Cuaron at least knew he had a quality score if he let Williams on board

    Because Mike Newell's frequent collaborator is Patrick Doyle. And Yates has worked with Hooper on previous projects. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Cuaron mentioned somewhere that he HAD to work with Williams on Azkaban but didn't want to.

    Yeah, because Williams' work on the third movie was terrible...



    Who'd want to work with someone like that?

    This is a damn good news for millions of fans around the world. But as you said, fingers are crossed. Let us hope for good news from the producers.

    I can't believe and digest this. How come a true music lover hate John Williams' music? If he/she do so, that means, he/she missing some important thing in his/her life.

  20. Well there are people on this earth who couldn't care less about film music, even if they're familiar with Williams' famous tunes. But that's their loss...

    And Williams doing the last HP? Would he do a Return of the Jedi on us? That'd be something... go out with a bang.

    From that interview I think Williams is having some problem fitting the Part II of the movie (which comes out in July 2011) in his schedule. After all JW has quite a few big projects (Lincoln, Tintin..) in 2011. But Williams himself had said he hoped to score the film so I'm pretty sure they'll work it out eventually. Let's hope so. smile

    Based on his recent output, where generally we'd be lucky to have just one theme, I'm not overly optimistic.
    I woudn't mind if he didn't return.

    Who? Williams? Well, when the Djawadis and the Kiners and the Lockingtons and the HGWs and the Bates of the world are too busy counting money in the bank and drop off a project or two, well then MAYBE he stands a chance; maybe.

    Well, the Potter franchise means little to me, so I honestly wouldn't mind a Bates or a Djawadi taking a shot.
    But I think it would be a great sandbox for up and coming talent to play in, rather than getting the old master out once more in hopes he'll come up with something that rivals his golden years.

    I'd be far more excited if -say- Powell was given a shot. Or Beltrami. Or Kyd.
    And I think Hannigan would be an absolutely fabulous choice, proven himself as he has with those fantastic, fresh and energetic video game scores.

    And if you're going to get a "name" in, why not try and see what Horner would do? Or Newman?

    Well. Just some personal fantasizing.. smile

    Well, i don't give a flying fudge for the Harry Crapper universe either; i am just commenting on the general state of things were you have some of film music's modern legends and finest around still working but you decide to give big to mammoth projects to either hacks or composers who just don't have what it takes.
